English version

Even though Sirevåg is not a harbour for visiting yachts, we found
ourselves a vacant place alongside a brand new pier with a few larger fishing
boats. Some flats on the other side of the harbour were kind enough to "loan" us
use of their WiFi so we could entertain ourselves for the evening with reading
newspapers and playing bridge on the web. There was not much wind this morning,
but after an hour and a half of motoring the wind picked up and we sailed along
the low, flat Jæren coastline. While the coast further south is dominated by
granite cliffs and hills just inland, the Jæren coast is low and featureless,
with lots of farming - which we could smell all the way out as sea due to the
easterly breeze. The coastline gets more interesting as one approaches Stavanger
as there are then islands and skerries.

Safely in the visitors marina in Stavanger centre, we have made ourselves
ready for a night on the town with Rønnaug's brother Knut and wife Trine. Today
is also out 13th wedding anniversary - so this has to be celebrated too. Today's
picture: Nigel steering in the rain.
